Losing Out is the Way

Fool, MIA is the hottest team in the league right now, with maybe the best defense

Cam in AZ - great

Cam vs. WFT - great

Cam vs. hottest team in league - bad

People like, Cam's done! We're done! Uhhh .. no

Cam played like trash against a decent defense. That is not acceptable for a team hoping to go to the playoffs

The team is done dude, but way to keep the spirit. You probably the only one.

i don't agree

fans in general, and this board in particular, have this weird belief that you either win the superbowl or lose out for draft position

we get 17 games a year. no one knows how the draft will shake up. just win the game. 

it's why i don't understand people being upset we beat washington and lost draft position or whatever. we still got a great player, even though he hurt his foot in a freak injury. maybe we get senei, who knows. but you know what we did get? to beat ron fuging rivera. and that means a lot to me.

I personally don’t care about draft position but I want Rhule gone. Probably only way he is gone is if they lose all.

At this point the issue shouldn't even be about draft position.  

It should be about the coaching staff that is continuously out-coached by our opponents, including Ron "I rarely out-coach anyone, but I did out-coach Matt Rhule" Rivera.

Yeah, hoping your team lays a goose egg for the rest of the year is pretty pitiful fandom.

That being said, we've got Rhule as HC.  If anyone is capable of laying an egg, he's your man.

I've had a pretty similar position when we've been in this spot before (which, sadly, seems to happen a lot).

I will always cheer for my team to win, but if they do happen to lose their remaining games and dump Rhule as a result, I won't be all that upset.

Yeah, emotionally it's a mixed bag for me.  

For the players and coaches that put in so much work and who often only have a few years in the league we would like to see them be successful.  On the other hand, if the HC appears to be out of his element and is holding the team back, the only way forward is his termination.  Winning a handful of games at the end of the season isn't going to improve the situation for the team or its fans.

This is how i would rank the top six 2022 draft-eligible prospects based on factors like experience, proven production, recent production and physical upside.

  1. Malik Willis, Liberty.
  2. Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh. ...
  3. Matt Corral, QB, Mississippi. ...
  4. Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati. ...
  5. Sam Howell, North Carolina. ...
  6. Jayden Daniels, Arizona State

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
